I have had 2 part chow dogs one golden retriever and one black lab mix and they are such good dogs, train well. But I love my Great Dane and mini Schnauzer and Coon Hound mix too. My most troublesome dog was part Beagle and she was a wanderer, by time she died at 13 she have seen almost all the town I lived in at the time and spent nights at strangers' homes. As sweet as she was, she worried me a lot with her "walk abouts" as a friend called them. Only Beagle traight I do not like - digging out.
